I have a friend who had pressure on work, more than half a year ago.
The friend would call me sometimes in the middle of night.
As the listener, I listened and gave my advice, which I thought helped to sooth the friend's sleepless night.
While I symphatised with the friend's situation, I also gave two advices:
1) Try to find motivation from the job - it's not necessary the direct benefit of the job, but things are always two folded - there must be some bright side of a disaster you face
2) Get a proper hobby. Proper hobby can help to balance the stressed work - and divert the attention
I'm not sure if my friend took my advice - but I did see since then my friend started doing and enjoying the hobby.
Since then, there's no more call in the midnight.
No, I'm not complaining about those nights I was awaken.
Rather, I'm glad that my friend no longer felt pressured to that extend.
